Pros: - pretty bright (although probably not 90 Lumen)
? good build quality
- takes AAA Batteries
Cons: - cannot be attached to a key ring (There is a hole at the rear end but it is too small)
- it happened several times, that after a few minutes of use the light suddenly became weaker. After switching it off and on again, the problem was solved. Not a big issue, since this doesn't happen very often, but I thought I'd mention it.
Other Thoughts: I ordered it more than half a year ago and always carry it in my pocket, right next to my keys. I also dropped it many times and it once fell into a puddle. It has some scratches but it still works great.
Bottomline: A really nice lamp for every-day-carry. It's bright enough for finding your way home in the dark and for most other uses. I always have mine with me and I've been glad to have it so many times.
Decent

Pros: - Small and compact
- Fairly bright for a AAA flashlight
- Good battery life
- Decent build quality
Cons: - I expected a lot more light from a DX flashlight, but I'm probably a bit spoiled from my other flashlights
- The switch is obviously very cheap and is hard to use if your hands are cold or if you are wearing gloves
Bottomline: This is a good EDC flashlight if you intend to use it mostly indoors. Unfortunately, it lacks the punch I've come to expect from DX flashlights and is way too weak to use outside. Its beam is pretty unfocused. However, you don't have to change batteries very often, so it could be a decent buy if you know what you are going to use it for.
Worth the Price

Pros: Threads are clean and effective. No real fear of cross-threading.
Light is fairly bright for a AAA flashlight
Fairly sturdy build. Looks like it will hold up to some abuse.
Cons: The tail clicky feels a little cheap and I doubt it is water proof.
Other Thoughts: While not as bright as the more expensive lights, it is brighter than the cheaper lights. You do get what you pay for. Brighter than sku.14881 and worth spending the additional money to get this one.
Bottomline: Buy one and try it out. You'll buy more.
Thid little light shines

Pros: This light is :
1. Small;
2. Bright for its size (using Li-ion battery);
3. Cheap.
Cons: However, Ultrafire 10440 Li-ion battery does not sit properly to conduct closed circuit (intermitent blinking);
Switch is sloppy at best. Not the smooth action like the Olight M20, the MTE M3-2 etc.
Other Thoughts: Consider the price paid for the little light, the cons can almost be forgotten, though the compatibilty with the Ultrafire Li-ion battery would be desired as this light really shines with the Li-ion batteries. However, this problem can be solve by inserting a
Bottomline: Its really bright for its size.
